Steam boilers are an essential part of production in many industries. Therefore, operational reliability is imperative.

Proper water treatment is essential – as a lack of focus on water quality in the steam boiler system can lead to operational disruptions:

  • Scaling and sludge formation
    Scaling and sludge formation are common issues when water treatment is suboptimal. Sludge and deposits lead to increased fuel consumption while simultaneously stressing the construction materials of the steam boiler. Deposits in the steam boiler reduce the lifespan of the system.

 

  • High corrosion rates
    High corrosion rates in the condensate system are frequently observed in steam boiler systems, resulting in repair work and downtime. The dissolved metals from the corrosion process are returned to the boiler system, where they can cause deposits, reduce energy efficiency, and increase the corrosion rate.
  • Risk of corrosion
    Steam boiler systems are particularly vulnerable to oxygen-induced corrosion. Selecting the right oxygen-scavenging technology is crucial; inefficient oxygen scavenging can lead to rapid perforation of the feedwater tank, pumps, and piping, as well as the boiler itself. The wrong oxygen scavenger can also lead to increased bottom blowdown, resulting in unnecessary energy loss.

 

  • Operational disruptions
    Severe operational issues such as foaming, bumping, and wet steam production typically occur as a result of inadequate control over boiler water quality. The optimal water treatment program keeps critical parameters under control and ensures optimal operation.

 

It is therefore crucial that the water in the steam boiler system is of the correct quality.
